  1. Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation Based on work by Dr Helen Street

  2. Intrinsic rewards • Help develop meaning, skills advancement, fun, self – enhancement • leads to motivation for learning - to discover the reward and meaning of the task • Learning to enjoy the process of learning rather than the reward/outcome.

  3. Extrinsic motivation A focus on outcomes leads to a loss of interest in the process An unhealthy need of approval Moments of elation amidst the life of discontentment (conditional goal setting) There becomes a need for greater and greater rewards if it isn't working, increasing the dose – this leads to A’s becoming average. Crazy stickers and average A's = reduced intrinsic motivation

  4. Crazy rewards • Promising someone a reward when they seem demotivated is like giving someone who is thirsty salt water. • Creates an outcome focus - loss of autonomy, loss of control, loss of choice, loss of attention on process.

  5. It’s just like a punishment • For every winner there are far more losers • For every winner the pressure to win again increases. There are links to depression vulnerability - fame, fortune and feeling down.

  6. But • Rewards create compliance and control • obedience • a love of rewards (as long as they increase) (but demotivates the child) • They say to the child 'I have power over approval or disapproval of you' and this kids push against • Extrinsic rewards create competition.If you deprive children of self determination you deprive them of motivation.

  7. Intrinsic motivation • Life satisfaction • Autonomy • Positive social relationships • A love of ongoing learning • Task persistence • Better performance • Cooperation • Compliance.

  8. How can we help kids to become intrinsically motivated? • Build positive relationships • Provide a safe environment • Develop collaboration with the students • Allow autonomy (choice) • Increase task engagement (interesting tasks).

  9. Positive relationships • Teacher wellbeing • effective communication (taking an interest in the individual, listening, being genuine, empathy and compassion).

  10. Safe environment • Emotional safety, connections with others, intimacy – permitting the opportunity to express true self. • Freedom from failure • Promoting PB’s.

  11. Engaging students • Challenge and skill development • clear achievable goals • ongoing feedback • Structure • meaning and value.

  12. Truly successful students do not learn to love rewards they love to learn.
